the wind in your eye (2024)
multi-purpose landscaping sand, plaster cast rocks and rock fragments

an interweaving of more threads than ever before
(yet the same threads that have always run through)
the desire for touch, as in knowing, a seeing that goes beyond the surface, the knowing of one’s full being in space, in place, in land
the disconnection from land, from place, from body, from self
and the desire for return
how a room is a being, how a landscape is a being, how a landscape is a language and
A body at rest, the quietness of the sensation
of being right within your body; to feel whole beyond the absence of pain; walking backwards (or so far forward) through pain to a quiet place
Looking at the edge of visibility / invisibility
Placelessness as an existential state
Placelessness as an imposed state
(Imposed by the mechanism of: the drone camera’s eye, the grid, systems which require order, systems which impose control, being known as the first step to losing agency, being known as the first step of extraction — or perhaps this is the fear that drives the impulse towards silence, towards opacity, towards the mess and the body, the alive and the dead)
The flattening of the world
The unflattening of the world, through language that is relational, material that is felt
& the lack of an edge, unbroken time,
the line that runs through a palm
the line that runs on the feet of water
bone-shaped earth
doubling on the sound of the wind in your eye
all will cease to exist
